Global Foldable Display Market Definition

A foldable display is a flexible electronic display that differs from typical flat-surface displays. Foldable displays use a flexible display technology that can be twisted, rolled up, and folded like paper depending on the requirements. Foldable displays are durable as compared to traditional displays. Foldable displays are a new technology that is predicted to revolutionize the semiconductor and electronics industries shortly. Companies such as Samsung Electronics, LG Display, Huawei, and Visionox have developed numerous types of foldable displays with varying thickness, pixel density, and material characteristics. Foldable displays have been increasingly common in tablets, smartphones, and notebooks in recent years.

Flexible display panels are made of flexible substrates that allow them to bend. Plastic, metal, or flexible glass can be used as the flexible substrate; plastic and metal panels are light, thin, durable, and virtually shatterproof. Foldable display technology, which is based on OLED panels, is used to make foldable phones. The flexibility, higher picture quality, and effective lighting benefits of OLED technology in conjunction with foldable displays and screens are gaining favor among electronic device manufacturers.

In comparison to traditional panels, OLEDs in smartphones are thinner, lighter, and more durable. AMOLED stands for Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diodes. It is a type of OLED display and is used in Phones. Super AMOLED is an AMOLED display with an inbuilt touch function, rather than a layer on top of the screen that detects touch. The Super AMOLED display offers an excellent viewing experience. It has a wide variety of colors and an outstanding level of color clarity, resulting in a much higher resolution.

Global Foldable Display Market Overview
